How to better estimate leaf area index and leaf angle distribution from digital hemispherical photography? Switching to a binary nonlinear regression paradigm [PDF]
Abstract Probabilistic modelling of gaps for light–canopy interactions has long served as a theoretical basis to estimate vegetation structural parameters—leaf area index (LAI) and leaf angle distribution (LAD)—from optical measurements such as hemispherical photos.

The validation process for a moderate resolution leaf area index (LAI) product (i.e., MODIS) involves the creation of a high spatial resolution LAI reference map (Lai-RM), which when scaled to the moderate LAI resolution (i.e., > 1 km) allows for ...

This paper presents an agar medium with a phosphorescent grid pattern that measures the stress distribution generated by growing plant roots. Using phosphorescence, the system optically separates the grid pattern from the root and extracts the grid deformation.

Introduction to hemispherical photography in forestry [PDF]
Hemispherical photography is profusely used in climatology and forest sciences in association with geomatics technology. It is possible to get a detailed record of the canopy and estimate, both of the same structure and understory light transmission ...
